TL;DR: Silver nanoparticles were biogenically synthesized using the fungus Trichoderma harzianum and characterized, showing potential against S. sclerotiorum, inhibiting sclerotinia germination and mycelial growth.

TL;DR: Evaluation of the toxicity of nanopesticides is essential for the development of environmentally friendly formulations intended for applications in agriculture, and the use of oleic acid as a complement in the nanocapsules was not a good strategy.

TL;DR: Althaea officinalis can be employed as reducing agent for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles, although it is necessary to consider its potential toxicity and ecotoxicity.

TL;DR: In vitro tests showed that encapsulated fungus were able to provide a greater control of S. sclerotiorum and the evaluation of the microbiota showed that the proportion of denitrifying bacteria increased when compared to the control.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the importance of the capping and compared the effects of capped and uncapped biogenic silver nanoparticles synthesized using the filtrate of Trichoderma harzianum against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
